🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gripping psychological thriller around the moral collapse of an ordinary man crushed by desperation. It explores the cyclical nature of violence and the ambiguous path to redemption without offering simplistic judgments.

What lingers after the final frame is a profound unease about the transactional value of a life and the heavy cost of spiritual salvation in a broken world. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Hesham Issawi

Watch alone, immersed in the quiet dread that builds with every turn of the taxi meter.
